This is exactly true and in fact (kind of funny
) but, I do scheduled feedings also. My kitty, Tallulah who was free fed behind a gated room where her food & water bowls were located...one day became overtaken with ants (repeatedly) so...she joined the scheduled feedings with my Yorkie girls.
I love it...now, she wakes us all up on schedule, every morning to get the breakfast on a roll! When I walk in the door in the evening...there she is already perched in her spot in the kitchen giving out the chow line siren!
She was so used to free-feeding but, now I think she actually eats better because she is committed to eating her meals instead of dilly-dallying around all day...nibble one bite here and a few more bites there.
